🏃‍♀️💨 TUESDAY TRACK NIGHT! LET’S GET FASTER, STRONGER & BETTER TOGETHER! 💙💛

Think speedwork is only for fast runners? THINK AGAIN! 👏

Whether you’re training for your first 5K, chasing a 10K PR, tackling a half marathon, or preparing for 26.2 miles, speedwork has a place in YOUR training!

🔥 WHY DO WE DO SPEEDWORK?

🏃‍♂️ Builds Speed: Helps your body learn to run faster and makes your regular pace feel easier.

💪 Improves Endurance: Trains your heart and lungs to work more efficiently, helping you go farther.

❤️ Boosts Cardiovascular Fitness: Challenges your aerobic system and improves overall running fitness.

⚡ Improves Running Efficiency: Helps develop quicker turnover, better coordination, and stronger running mechanics.

🧠 Builds Mental Toughness: Teaches you to get comfortable being uncomfortable. And trust me, that carries over into race day!

🤝 BUILDS COMMUNITY: My favorite part! We show up, push ourselves, encourage each other, and celebrate EVERYONE’S progress!

HERE’S THE BEST PART… YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE FAST TO DO SPEEDWORK!

Speedwork is about YOUR effort, YOUR pace, and YOUR progress. We all have different goals, but we can put in the work together!

📍 TONIGHT! TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27
⏰ 6:00 PM
🏟️ Wichita Collegiate School Track
9115 E 13th St N, Wichita, KS 67206

🏃 5K | 10K | HALF | FULL
⏱️ 30-minute workout for ALL groups!

💙💛 NOT A TJS RUNNING MEMBER? COME JOIN US!

Maybe you’ve been thinking about joining a running group but aren’t sure where to start. Maybe you’re intimidated by track workouts. Or maybe you just want some people who will push you to become a better runner.

THIS IS YOUR INVITATION!

You don’t have to be the fastest. You don’t have to be experienced. You just have to SHOW UP!

At TJS Running, we believe every pace has a place, and nobody has to do this journey alone.

Bring your running shoes, bring a friend, and come see what our running family is all about! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

See you at the track!

Whether you trained for your first race, tackled a new distance, chased a personal record, or simply showed up week after week to become a stronger version of yourself… WE ARE PROUD OF YOU!

Because here’s the thing about TJ’s Running…

❤️ We don’t care if you’re the fastest or the slowest.

❤️ We believe nobody should have to chase their goals alone.

You don’t have to be a runner to join us. You just have to be willing to start!

Our coaches, Ashley and Tony, along with our incredible running community, are here to help you build confidence, find accountability, make friendships, and accomplish things you never thought possible.

We’re planning another exciting year of training, including local races, half marathons, full marathons, and some incredible destination race opportunities!

Whether your goal is your very first 5K or your next marathon, THERE IS A PLACE FOR YOU HERE!

And the best part? You won’t just gain a training plan. You’ll gain a community that shows up for you, cheers for you, and celebrates YOU!

📣 WHO’S READY TO JOIN OUR NEXT TRAINING SERIES?

Happy Monday everyone. We sincerely hope you have had a great week. For those of you, and the list is long, who ran in the Prairie Fire this yesterday, congratulations on your run. It was really good to see such a great turnout of TJ's Runners. I know we had some PRs both in time and distance and we want you to know how proud we are of what you have accomplished. And a big thank you to those who came out to support and help bring our runners in. It means so much when you go out and cheer everyone one on.

We also want to wish those of you who are running your race this coming weekend. We know you are going to succeed in achieving your goals. Be safe in your travels, send lots of pictures, have fun, but please hurry home.

We will not be holding our weekly workout this week. Don't worry though, our maintenance session will begin next Tuesday October 20 at the track. Keep in mind that in our maintenance sessions, we will only post routes up to 6 miles. If at any time you feel you need more miles, feel free to do so.

Please let us know as soon as possible if your date and place preference for our end of session party. We can go to Picasso's again or some where else, but we need to confirm a date.

Once again, congratulations to our Prairie Fire runners and the best of luck to those traveling to their race this weekend.
